Peppermint Crisp

The construction of a Peppermint Crisp bar, showing the inner cylinders of mint

Peppermint Crisp is a milk chocolate bar filled with a multitude of thin cylinders of mint-flavoured toffee.[1] Invented in South Africa by Wilson-Rowntree, it is now produced by Nestlé. The Peppermint Crisp is sold within Australia and South Africa as a 35 gram bar.

It is common for children to bite off both ends of the bar and use the series of mint tubes as a straw to drink milk.[citation needed]

It is often used in Peppermint tart, a favourite South African dessert.

The Peppermint Crisp can be used as in ingredient in mint chocolate cheesecakes and slices, and broken-up to decorate the top of pavlovameringue or cheesecake. James and Melanie Maddock used Peppermint Crisp on top of their dessert during a food challenge on the cooking show My Kitchen Rules.[2]
